I&#8217;ve always struggled with mornings and if it&#8217;s cold outside, you can&#8217;t drag me out of bed! (There is a reason that I moved to the south!) I try to avoid morning meetings at all costs but when I do have to run out the door, I want to grab a bar and know that I&#8217;m making a healthy food choice. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">The Quaker Oats soft baked bars only have 140 calories and they provide 6g protein and 5g fiber that will help to fill you up and some B-vitamins that will go you a bit of an energy boost. It\u2019s hard to find a bar that is less than 200 calories that has some protein and fiber. This was a bit sweeter than what I crave in the morning but it was a great treat without feeling like a splurge. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"><strong id=\"internal-source-marker_0.7692438317462802\" style=\"font-family: Times; font-size: medium; font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;\">The <\/span><\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/app.socialspark.com\/clicks?lid=22015&amp;oid=7843621\" rel=\"nofollow\">Quaker Soft Baked Bar<\/a> come in 2 flavors, banana nut bread and cinnamon pecan bread. The cinnamon pecan was the house favorite disappeared rather quickly! The bonus is that it doesn&#8217;t have to be warm to be tasty, although it is a nice option! One friend said that he could imagine heating it up and enjoying it on a cold winter morning all bundled up and sitting in this car waiting for the ice to thaw so he could head to work.
